Wilson, who will wear jersey number 00, did not allow a run in four
rehab appearances between Triple-A Albuquerque (3) and Single-A Rancho
Cucamonga (1), striking out three, while allowing only one hit in 4.1
scoreless frames. The 31-year-old was signed by the Dodgers on July 30
and was placed on the 15-day disabled list as he continued his recovery
from 2012 Tommy John surgery.

In 315 career games with the Giants from 2006-12, Wilson was 20-20
with 171 saves. The New Hampshire native has limited opposing hitters to
a .238 batting average during the course of his career with 340
strikeouts in 320.0 innings. He last appeared in a Major League game on
April 12, 2012.

Van Slyke, who appeared in his fourth stint with the club this
season, is batting .252 (26-for-103) with six home runs, seven doubles
and 16 RBI in 38 games for Los Angeles.

Topps recently released their newest Baseball product. It is called MLB Chipz, and as the name suggest they are poker chip sized disc featuring a photo of a player on the front. They are supposed to used for some sort of game, but I have no idea how it's palyed. At the very bottom of this post is a pic of the game board.

Only two Dodgers are in the set: Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw. See them both below. There are several different parallel Chipz's available; including "glow in the dark" Chipz's.

“We had guys who started slowly,” Kasten said. “We also had injuries.
That’s not an excuse; everyone has injuries. But we had a carousel of
injuries. Every week we had a guy injured and we lost him for a week or
two. Once we hit a rhythm with most of our guys on the field we played
the way we thought we could play. We finally had a steady, stable lineup
on the field.”

"So when I got traded to the Dodgers, my dad got all crazy," said
Nolasco, who starts for Los Angeles on Sunday. "It was kind of surreal.
And cool. My first day with the team, I got interviewed by Rick, and I
sent my dad pictures. He was excited. My dad always talked about Rick
Monday."

Via Bill Plaschke at the LA Times, "The setup men for a gimpy Gibson’s immortal World Series homer: A grown batboy, a lost slugger and an old scout remember their roles in Kirk Gibson’s game-winning homer in the 1988 World Series."
